Cover Love ♥ WinterSpell

♥ A Little Bit of Cover Love!

Each week I will be posting a soon-to-be released book  cover that is so amazing, intriguing or horrifically beautiful that I cant wait to get my hands on it to read. 

This weeks soon-to-be released, amazing cover is: "Winterspell"



What's the Cover Story?


Winterspell by Claire Legrand 


Book Jacket:  

The clock chimes midnight, a curse breaks, and a girl meets a prince . . . but what follows is not all sweetness and sugarplums.


New York City, 1899. Clara Stole, the mayor's ever-proper daughter, leads a double life. Since her mother's murder, she has secretly trained in self-defense with the mysterious Drosselmeyer.Then, on Christmas Eve, disaster strikes.Her home is destroyed, her father abducted--by beings distinctly nothuman. To find him, Clara journeys to the war-ravaged land of Cane. Her only companion is the dethroned prince Nicholas, bound by a wicked curse. If they're to survive, Clara has no choice but to trust him, but his haunted eyes burn with secrets--and a need she can't define. With the dangerous, seductive faery queen Anise hunting them, Clara soon realizes she won't leave Cane unscathed--if she leaves at all. 


Inspired by The Nutcracker, Winterspell is a dark, timeless fairy tale about love and war, longing and loneliness, and a girl who must learn to live without fear.


Hardcover, 464 pages

Expected publication: September 30th 2014 by Simon & Schuster


♥ My Thoughts: I would read the book by the cover alone. The look on her face, the crow and the pair of scissors in her hand, is enough of a mystery to make you want to dive in . However, finding out that it is a Nutcracker retelling, calls to the timeless feel and nostalgia of the the Holidays, leaving me wanting for a good cup of tea and cookies or a tall glass of eggnog.
